Yeah, the per bottle price may be high but you will make that up with volume (or something like that).

I am warming up the juice in my primary for a double batch of La Bodega Port. (Go big or go home as they say!)![]()
Question for the port experts. Should I really add 2 packages of Bentonite as well as 2 packages of Raisins and FOUR packages of yeast to this bad boy?
The instructions are downright horrible for this kit! No explanation that you should use both packages of yeast, no mention of the F Pack and when it should be added............
I went online and found a newer version of the MM AllGRAPE Pack Procedure that at least mentions the F Pack but not the double dose of Yeast.
This is going to be one FULL primary with 2 pounds of raisins !

The reason for waiting on the SG measurement is that it takes a while for the sugars in the raisins/grapes to integrate and impact the SG. So, it should go up. I've gotten in the habit of taking 2-4 SG measurements during the first 24 hours when starting kits with grape packs or added fruit. My "official" starting gravity is whatever the highest measurement is.
Boat.... the instructions said to wait 24 hours BEFORE adding the raisins..let alone the SG
